First #NUFC silverware of the season…..

She’s symptomatic of our political journalists now being more interested in a ‘gotcha story’ than reporting on actual politics, which is seemingly too boring for them.

If Kemi Badenoch has a serious position in UK politics, we’ve gone past the point of satire.

Kemi Badenoch either knows she knows nothing but pretends she knows everything, or she knows things yet pretends not to.

Either of which make her a useless politician, and may seem like a gift to the Labour government, but having no meaningful opposition is dangerous for the country.

If only the media got this excited when Boris Johnson was wilfully misleading the country on a daily basis….

Freezing fuel duty and a ‘per mile tax’ on EV doesn’t strike the average driver as particularly green….

Such outrage responses can usually be taken as a ‘yes.’

Reform’s ‘Trumpian’ legal threats hint at more aggressive approach to media Ultimatums sent to publications appear to intensify as Nigel Farage’s party rises in polls

If you receive legal threats from Nigel Farage for your reporting of Reform, please get in touch.

We have employed a defamation lawyer specifically for this purpose and would love to help (and we do so on non-commercial terms). www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

And this is what Reform Ltd are basing themselves on….

Kevin Hollinrake is a Tory and is therefore wrong about most things the last 10 years have brought, however we are never going to properly hold Reform Ltd to account if we pander to faux outrage everytime someone calls them out for what they are.

Weird way of saying ‘Nigel Farage urged to resign.’

It was always plainly obvious to anyone willing to think critically that #BorisJohnson was a self-serving, lying charlatan.

The tragedy of the #CovidInquiry is that people actually lost their lives, needlessly.

The UK Covid-19 Inquiry says the government response to the pandemic in March 2020 was "too little, too late" • Inquiry chair Baroness Hallett is making a statement now - watch live at the top of the page. She says February 2020 was a "lost month" • The inquiry report says imposing lockdown a week earlier could have saved 23,000 lives in the first wave in England • But the inquiry also says lockdown could have been avoided altogether if steps such as social distancing and isolating those with symptoms had been introduced earlier • The report adds that a failure to learn from mistakes during later waves of the pandemic was "inexcusable"

This is what happens when you put a preening, lazy, populist, dilettante in charge of a country.

Johnson was completely out of his depth and more concerned with his pathetic perceived popularity than leading this country through the greatest crisis since 1939.

Starmer’s anti-asylum policies show how utterly clueless he is about the right-wing media’s role in politics.

He’s trying to fix a “problem” contrived by Farage, GB News and The Telegraph. He’ll never win, because ultimately he’s fighting a ghost – he’s fighting something that doesn’t really exist

This country has lost its fucking mind, while the government has lost control of the narrative.

#immigration #asylum

Why is the #BBC so worried? Has #Trump ever done anything he said he was going to do?

Interesting to see so many great British patriots right now begging an American president to bankrupt one of Britain’s last remaining truly national institutions.

Pathetic.

#BBC

#Leicestershire voters about to find out the expensive way what a complete con voting for Reform Ltd is. Grifters the lot of them.

*some farmers. Not all, by any stretch.

Be clear, the American far right are coming for British democracy.

The BBC's senior leadership resigning en masse over one dodgy edit in one programme, simply because the right wing press demands it, tells you everything you need to know about where the power really lies in that relationship

There was a time when I'd have cared deeply about the BBC.

But they adopted a deliberate policy of kowtowing to the right, backing away from every fight, believing compliance would protect the license fee, and the right would leave them alone.

Stand up to bullies, or get knocked down by reality.

None of this would have happened if Gary Lineker was still in the building.

#BBC

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

A big win for people more outraged by a silly edit at the BBC than by a man impeached by Congress for literally inciting an insurrection being back in the White House. Pathetic.

Pretty irrelevant when none voted for it.

“They… accused him of ‘ignorance’ of the issue.”

An overwhelmingly recurring theme on pretty much every subject he speaks on.

If ever @footballcliches.bsky.social were worried about running out of podcast material, BBC Sport go and give Tony Pulis his own column…. 🍿

Farage: epic grifter
